Prediction Cruzeiro – Vasco da Gama

The Cruzeiro comes to every game proving that it is one of the favorites to the Brazilian title of this season. The mining team is usually very strong in their home. Vasco do not live a good moment, where he has not been presenting a good football and has not been adding the desired amount of points. The game must be played, but by playing at home and by living a great phase, we believe that Cruzeiro should win another game in their home. Cruise wins!
